My favourite vegetarian recipes....some of these I made with herbs and veg I grew in my garden....so every time I eat I thank the Earth for Her bounty.

Nasturtium, Rocket and Tomato Salad

Nasturtium, Rocket and Tomato Salad

(I created this myself, with ingredients from my garden, so the proportions are a bit vague...!!!)large bunch of nasturtium leavesabout half a cup of nasturtium flowersa bunch of vine tomatoeslarge bunch of rocket (no problem if some rocket flowers get included!)(all these ingredients should be organic if possible)1 or 2 cloves of garlic

Wash all ingredients very carefully, especially the nasturtiums. Slice the tomatoes.Arrange them on a plate in an aesthetically pleasing manner - the nasturtium leaves, then the rocket leaves, then the sliced tomatoes, finally the nasturtium flowers.Make a vinaigrette with the finely chopped garlic, some balsamic vinegar (raspberry-flavoured balsamic vinegar is especially good for this!) and some extra-virgin olive oil.
